Now I am going to lay a very hard truth on you, he did not give you a GBA he bought, I can tell you that because I had a friend like this, the reason you got that GBA is because he stole it from someone else who found out he had it and was comming after him. If he gave it to you then he no longer had it and was clear.
Now you need to STOP right here and see the morality of this, this guy is a stealer and has been getting more and more agressive with what he steals. he steals from you constantly and he is friends with you no doubt because he knows you get things he can take. You need to stop him because of 2 reasons, the obvious is that its wrong but the second is that if you truely care for him as a friend, he is going to do this to the wrong person and they are going to put him in jail or worse, they are going to kill/hurt him badly. Look at everyone's reactions here, you can see that much to be true.
You need to stop this, he needs to be caught so that hopefully he will stop, its the only way.
This is EXACTLY what you should do:
1)Get your purchase record for that PSP, Get the box and everything that comes with it. (Head phones, I mean everything)
2) Tell your parents everything, make sure you let them know what has happened. Just tell them you are going to g o get it back but do not let ANYONE else know. You do not want him giving it away because you are coming after him.
3) Take everything with you, you can even tyake your parents if it helps, and go over there. (Me personally I would go alone as a friend, swipe the PSP (YOUR NOT STEALING READ THE REST!) Then go straight home and COME BACK with YOUR PARENTS and all the above stuff. Let his parents know what happened and show them the reciets and box it came in. Show them everything it came with and tell them you can prove its yours with the serial number, the Nickname and the purchase record. Also in the case he removed them, use the box as evidence. Ask him what came in the box and where the assesorys are (Head Phones, Controller for the Head Phones, The Demo Disc, The Cleaning Cloth, The Strap, everything esp if you bought a bigger Memory card show that to and ask where the original is and how he transfered data to it if he does not have the usb cable) He did not buy it so he is going to try and make an excuse as to why he has it.
4) If your still having problems tell his parents about the PSP you let him borrow (remember your parents are there you are safe) and that he forgot it, then tell them he should have replaced it if he bought a new one, again show the record of purchase and show the 250.00 price tag. Show them everything, they will not be able to say much, I promise the cops would never arrest you for anything like thing you have proof he does not and you have him admitting he took ur PSP and lost it. (his parents will remember him having one on the trip, parents remember when their children are quite on trips and when they are easier to handle/give them time to them selves lol trust me its something they lose as soon as they have them, I'm a dad I know this).
I would be 100% happy to help you do this if you were in Tucson, AZ I would help you every step of the way.
I am not sure of what u mean by your rep here but honestly I only see u as someone who cares about the system. LOL Ur the other HELP EVERYON person lol. If you want to talk to someone who has been through these things, give me a call. (PM me I will send u my cell number or if you want to Yahoo Chat or anything) I know how it feels and i know there are probably things you have kept to yourself. I understand and will do nothing but help you. But you have got to stand for something, people will seem like the nicest person you have ever known, etc but if they have another agenda thats all they will be thinking about. You have to be careful. I have had quite a few things blow up in my face because I try to help friends, it does not mean you stop trying but it does mean you walk away, they are not your friend and thats not why they are around you. You are a tool, a use to them, nothing more.
